Crisis is a great opportunity

to be led by the promises of God's word.

Crisis is a great opportunity

to hear God's voice in the midst of desperate spirits.

Our responsibility

is not only to believe in the faithful God

 who has given us His promises

but also to have the conviction

that "what God has spoken to me will surely be fulfilled"

and to be courageous

(Acts 27:23-25).

Turning crisis into an opportunity for preaching the gospel ...

Even amidst crises where his life was threatened by crowds,

the Apostle Paul proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ through his testimony

(Acts 21:27-22).

The reason being that Paul considered his life of no value to him,

but only as a means to complete the task he received from Jesus,

the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace (20:24).

With a sense of mission like that of the Apostle Paul,

those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for Jesus and the gospel

(Mark 8:35) continue to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ

even in the face of threats to their lives.
